Remote Desktop Connection MacOSX <-> Linux 8.1
 

Hi there,

first let me say i'm newbie in linux.

here is my aim:
- i want to connect from my mac to a linux pc (linux prof.8.1)
- i want to use remote desktop 1.0.1 if possible (or other?)
- i do not want to have only file access. i want to mirror the pc
screen/OS on my mac.

here are my problems:
- i cannot type in any IP (fields are all white but un-editable)
- Mac remote desktop gives error message
- i also tried "connect to server" (samba) on mac but no linux pc
or ip adress was found.

is there a better way to connect?
thxs for all help.

ps: there is only linux installed. no windows.

I don't know about Remote desktop but why not use VNC:
http://www.tightvnc.com

incidentally, why tightvnc instead of realvnc, or easyvnc?

Great! Thanks for all answers. Will check this vnc.....
Thanks for helping me out...

TightVNC offers better compression and works better over slow networks.
